Materials Engineering SME
At East West we are Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in metals, with decades of experience in precision high-pressure die casting, among many other casting methods, machining, and sheet metal processing. We also have expertise in the application of GD&T methodologies and related inspection processes.
Prototyping, Validation & Analysis
We work with our customers to develop quick-turn electrical and mechanical prototypes using a combination of in-house capabilities and a network of third-party partners to make sure your vision is realized. Our teams apply advanced engineering analysis techniques to optimize product performance, ensure reliability, and reduce cost. Some analysis methods used include:
- Finite element analysis (FEA)
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- Electrical analysis
- Design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Thermal modeling
Packaging Design
We provide a full suite of custom packaging solutions. We help customers protect, present, and optimize a product’s journey from factory to end user. Design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA) services can also include packaging design that is streamlined for production, reduces handling time, and improves efficiency. By understanding the ever growing needs of our customers, we offer options for recyclable, reusable, and minimal-waste packaging that support sustainability goals. As we do this, we can also help you with the testing and validation services for your customer-specific protocols to ensure durability and compliance.
PCBA Testing
East West offers new product development support and value engineering services for customers lacking the appropriate staff and/or bandwidth to fully execute bringing a new product to market. Our PCBA testing services are geared to help customers cut costs while maintaining quality during manufacturing transitions and scaling.
